Hi,

I have a main form and I open a child form containing an axwindowsmediaplayer, a picturebox and some user controls that are in a dll.

I want to make this child form an EXE file with all the music files, images or dlls embedded in the exe.

Is this possible? In a quick way or it will take some time to do?

if there were some libraries that do this quick please give me a help with this?

Hi,

To create exe file at run time , you might need to use CodeDom.

The source code of the childform is required, for more information about codeDom , please take a look at the documentation:

Sounds like you need resource files. They allow you to embed other files into your application.

Here is a link for more information;

Hope this helps.

Thanx for the help DeborahK,

I'll try to make this one step at a time

1st - the axwindowsmediaplayer as an URL property like "c:\documents\something.avi".
   How do I put it as a resource?  Then I must solve the picturebox problem

2nd- how I put the usercontrols as a resource...they are in dll files

3rd - How can I generate the all form into an exe, and how the new exe will access the resource files?

Sorry but this is a bit complicated to me now. If you could give me examples I'd be apreciated

I don't think that you can put user controls into a resource file.

If you are building a WinForms application, it will compile into an EXE. If you embed the resources as per the link I provided, those will be included in the EXE.

You will still have external DLLs for your user controls.

Did you read through and try out the information from the link I provided?

I read and I don't think I can manage to achive what I'm trying to do...

At runtime, I have a mainform and a childform that is shown when I select some option.

I'm trying to export that childform into an exe file so I can execute outside my application..

so at runtime I want to create an exe file

Thanx for the reply Harry,

I've search a while and I found the best way to do it is by CodeDom indeed
